As far as I know Amazon has not carried the 17 inch Macbook Pro WITH ANTIGLARE. However, you can purchase the glossy screen variants from them. I was a bit cautious and hesitant to purchase such a big ticket item from Amazon resellers especially at the great prices listed for these 2.5ghz 17 inch Antiglare MBP machines. Alas, the other review from Nester gave a bit of confidence along with the consideration that these resellers are guaranteed through Amazon's A-Z Guarantee. I did on one occasion, about a year ago, did have to contact Amazon about some memory sticks purchased through Ant-Online when they sent me the wrong sticks of ram. Although I didn't have to go through with the claim as Ant-Online did take the ram back.I placed my order through Mobile Chopper (amazon reseller) Sunday night and received it through through express mail today (wednesday). I am happy to report that my package is the real deal. Brand new, per spec, and with model number md386ll/a... |

At first I hesitated to order this Macbook Pro model. Amazon does not directly sell Macbook models with different specs other than the most basic, at least not on the 17" model. I wanted the anti glare screen and most importantly the 7200rpm hard drive. The i7 processor is super fast, I was ordering extra memory from Crucial so the only bottle neck was going to be the 5400rpm hard drive from the basic model.The reason I hesitated is that only sellers from the marketplace sell this model and I didn't know if I should trust such an expensive item to some seller other than Amazon directly. First, the description had some typos, but I contacted the seller and replied me promptly. I have to say that the description seems different if you check it out on the web browser or on the iPad Amazon app. I have no idea why, maybe the sellers have different fields to fill out for each device platform and they don't just do a copy/paste.In my case, I ordered if from the... |

My huge Thinkpad W701DS was stolen on a recent business trip and I was forced to shop for another laptop. As a developer, I only buy laptops with 17 inch 1920x1200 displays as the development tools take up lots of screen estate. But it appears that the major laptop makers have stopped offering those displays. I'm guessing most folks today use external monitors and keyboards attached to their laptops -- making the high rez laptop displays less valuable. Which is okay if you don't travel with the laptop often or have a docking station. In my case, the laptop goes home with me every night and I didn't want the expense and hassle of external monitors and keyboards.There is still one manufacturer that makes a laptop with the WUXGA 17 display -- Apple, on the MacBook Pro. So I bought the latest model, with faster disk drive and anti-glare display. Even upgraded the memory to 16GB (not supported by Apple). This laptop flies and I must say is best laptop I've owned in 18... |
